Pros:

Three meat ingredients in top five

Cons:

Insufficient meat content, some controversial additives

The first two ingredients in the food are named meat products. These are inclusive of water content. Once that is removed as it must be to make a dry product, the ingredient will weight around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus unlikely that they are truely the first ingredients in the food, but would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. There is a further meat ingredient, this time in meal form, fourth on the ingredient list. It is likely that this is the true main meat ingredient (second overall) in the food.

The main carbohydrate source is rice flour, which is a grain fragment that we consider to be primarily filler. We appreciate the inclusion of whole eggs. In minor ingredients, there is a range of fruits/vegetables and a good range of probiotics. We note the presence of synthetic vitamin K which is a substance linked to liver problems and which is progressively being removed from dog food products.

We do not locate anywhere on the manufacturer site a statement guaranteeing the use of ethoxyquin-free protein ingredients in the food. Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients and that is banned or heavily restricted in human food because it is believed to be carcinogenic.
